Chapter 2037: Heaven-ordained Sect-Protecting Divine Beast

Hahaha, I, Hong 【someone】, have come.....................

In the previous second, all that was seen was Hong Zun laughing heroically as he shot up into the sky; the next second, with a bang, Hong Zun was slapped and sent flying into the forest below, raising clouds of dust.

Junior Brother.

Senior Brother.

Faced with this sudden change, Qi Xiong and the others shouted anxiously.

However, the next second, a earth-shaking angry roar erupted from within the immortal mountain before them.

Immediately, a white qilin shot up into the sky, its huge body, with clouds and mist under its feet, eyes full of vigilance as it looked at everyone present.

Immortal Beast..................

Having been in the Immortal Realm for not a short time, everyone could still tell what an immortal beast is.

At this moment, Qi Xiong and the others realized they had been too excited; they had been playing on such an immortal mountain, which is usually occupied by either demonic beasts or immortal beasts.

Just as human cultivators love various cultivation treasure lands, immortal beasts and demonic beasts are the same.

After all, a good cultivation environment is crucial for both humans and immortal beasts.

Damn it, this beast..................

From the aura of this immortal beast, its cultivation is at least above the Immortal Realm; we are definitely no match for it.

Just as everyone was stunned, the qilin let out another angry roar, its roar full of warning.

This clearly meant for everyone to leave quickly.

Faced with such a hard-to-find immortal mountain treasure land, how could anyone be willing to give it up at this moment?

But the strength of this qilin before them is not something they can contend with; for a moment, everyone fell into hesitation.

Master.

Qi Xiong turned his gaze to Yun Xiantai; in this situation, how will the Master decide?

Yun Xiantai also remained silent; at this moment, Xu Jie stepped forward.

Seeing Xu Jie's action, everyone was stunned, and Qi Xiong even shouted.

What are you doing?

Uncle Master, I have a way; let me try.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Qi Xiong was baffled; they had no way, what could a junior like Xu Jie possibly do?

However, under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie slowly flew up, coming before this qilin, though far away, and did not rashly offend the qilin immortal beast.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the qilin is an immortal beast, gentle in nature, its roar like thunder, harming neither people nor livestock, thus also called a benevolent beast; I, Xu Jie, have seen the immortal beast qilin.

As an immortal beast, this qilin's spiritual intelligence is naturally not low.

Upon hearing Xu Jie's flattery, a proud expression instantly appeared on its face.

Perhaps having lived all this time in the Wuji Mountain Range, it rarely comes into contact with human cultivators, let alone receives such praise.

Seeing this immortal beast qilin show a satisfied expression, Xu Jie seized the moment to press on.

I have respected the qilin since childhood, not only because of the qilin clan's strength, but also because of its benevolence and righteousness.

And senior, being pure white all over, you are the king among the qilin clan.

Huh???

Hearing Xu Jie's words, this pure white qilin was momentarily at a loss.

Actually, Xu Jie didn't know that, among its kin, because it is pure white, it has been seen as an oddity since childhood.

That is why it left the group and came here to live alone.

Within the group, it had never felt any warmth, let alone being a king.

But it loves hearing such words.

Who doesn't like hearing kind words? Humans are like that, and so are immortal beasts.

After Xu Jie's words, the qilin immortal beast felt elated, gaining great satisfaction in its heart.

After a round of flattery, seeing the moment was about right, Xu Jie shifted his tone and spoke mysteriously.

Don't blame me, senior; we have been guided by the Heavenly Dao all the way here.

This immortal mountain before us has appeared countless times in our dreams, and within the immortal mountain there is an immortal beast that looks just like you, senior.

From the moment I first saw you, senior, I knew the Heavenly Dao's guidance was correct; this place is exactly what we have been painstakingly seeking.

Now we have finally found it—not only this mountain, but also you, senior.

Huh???

Hearing these words, this qilin immortal beast was obviously dazed.

Not to mention it, even Yun Xiantai behind them and Qi Xiong were completely bewildered.

Yun Xiantai even frowned and looked at Qi Xiong, saying.

What is this brat trying to do?

I don't know, Master.

As for this, Qi Xiong also had a head full of question marks, not knowing what Xu Jie intends to do.

Under the gaze of everyone and the qilin immortal beast, Xu Jie paused, then immediately his expression turned unusually serious, and he spoke word by word.

The Heavenly Dao guides us to establish a sect here; the sect is the Dao One Immortal Sect, this is heavenly will, the decree of the Heavenly Dao.

And senior, living within this immortal mountain, the Heavenly Dao also has its decree.

Roar?

The qilin immortal beast gave a doubtful low growl, as if asking.

In response, Xu Jie suddenly raised his volume and shouted loudly.

Senior, you are the Guardian Beast of our Dao One Immortal Sect; this is heavenly mandate.

Huh???

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people from Yun Xiantai were dumbfounded.

What the hell? A guardian divine beast? How come we don't know about this? You're making things up, but there's a limit.

Is this nonsense just made up on the spot?

But unexpectedly, upon hearing Xu Jie's words, this kirin immortal beast first froze in place, then after a while slowly came to its senses.

Then came a roar, but it wasn't anger; it seemed like... excitement? enthusiasm?

This beast actually believed it, damn it.

Watching this kirin's performance, the few people from Yun Xiantai and Qi Xiong behind them were completely bewildered.

All they felt was a numbness on their scalps.

You believe this so easily? No doubt at all? You believe whatever others say? How naive.

Seeing this, Xu Jie's confidence grew even more, and he chimed in.

Not bad, you are our sect's guardian divine beast, ordained by heaven.

Your status equals that of the sect master; you are our sect's symbol.

Divine beast kirin, the time has come; why haven't you returned to your post to protect our divine sect?

Roar.........

Watching the person and beast singing in tandem there, the faces of the Yun Xiantai and Qi Xiong group had already turned wonderfully colorful.

They even couldn't help but blush, feeling a bit embarrassed; why is that?

They felt somewhat unable to lift their heads.

But in their dazed state, after half a Shíchén, the group brought along Hong Zun, who had been slapped away earlier, and then, in a daze, went up the mountain.

And the guide turned out to be that kirin immortal beast.

This guy really took himself to be a guardian divine beast, and along the way he completely got into the role.

Following behind Xu Jie and it, the Yun Xiantai and Qi Xiong party remained silent.

They couldn't help but transmit a message secretly.

Although we successfully seized this blessed land, why do I feel no happiness at all?

Actually, if we think differently, we not only got the Shanmen blessed land for free, we also picked up a guardian divine beast for free, which seems like a gain.

A gain? Why don't I feel it?

Just be thicker-skinned.

Then why have you been hiding behind me all this time? If you're thick-skinned, why not step forward?

I'm too ashamed to meet people today.

Get lost.

The expression on their faces could be described as colorful.
